Australia's best news deal: Just $1 for the first 28 days

IN business, good advice is always worth paying for. Being fully informed can save you a small fortune and give you the edge over your competitors.

It's no different when it comes to local news.

It pays to belong to those 'in the know' about what's going on around them - and never has it been more critical in a social media age where so much false information is being pumped out.

Our journalists are dedicated to finding the stories that really matter - as well as the ones that will give you a laugh and lift your day.

As a news organisation, we believe in giving people the information they need. And we know that at the start of the year, money can be tight.

That's why we're launching our best introductory digital subscription offer - just $1 for the first 28 days. If you want your local paper delivered as well, it's a $1 a day for the first 8 weeks.

Not only does that give you access to the best local stories - all of our premium content - but also the best stories from The Courier-Mail, and major sites like the Daily Telegraph, Melbourne's Herald-Sun and other regional titles from the Cairns Post to the Gold Coast Bulletin.

Over the next 28 days, we're keen to show you why it pays to be in the know.

You'll be the first to hear about business openings and closures; what's going in our local courts and council, new development projects, job opportunities, as well as the best guide to local events and community happenings.

You'll also get access to email and app alerts on big breaking police and crime stories.

ENJOY OUR DIGITAL EDITION AND APP

Your subscription also gives you access to the full digital edition of the paper - so you can read it just as you would the printed version.

That means you can sit back with your favourite tablet and flip through the paper at your leisure.

You also get access to our app where you can follow topics of interest to ensure that when new articles are published you are notified about them.

Just go to the Apple app store or Google Play for Android devices and search for your local newspaper name and download the app on your phone or tablet.

A morning and afternoon newsletter will ensure you're up to date with the best of our local stories while breaking news and big local stories will be sent via alerts.
